Evie's Waltz
November 8 – December 7, 2008
a new play by Carter W. Lewis
directed by Artistic Director Loretta Greco

A provocative look at parenting today's American teen.

Gloria and Clay are living every parent's nightmare - their son has been suspended for bringing a gun to school. As they wrestle with their predicament, an unexpected visit from their son's girlfriend turns their backyard barbecue into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.

“Lewis displays the complexities of American life...buffeted by the competing influences of “Romeo & Juliet,” pop-culture and (Johann) Strauss. Any parent who's experienced guilt and doubt will identify” – Rob Hurwitt, SF Chronicle

“A tense frightening thriller that dredges up provocative issues about life in 21st – century America…a taut fraught examination of guns, teens and detonation of the nuclear family.” – Chad Jones, SF Examiner

“A taut 75-minutes of intergenerational suspense.” - George Heymont, My Cultural Landscape
